The creation of complex systems whether electronic, mechanic, chemical, or biological can prove incredibly challenging. In this talk, I will outline my vision for "Bio-Design Automation" for synthetic biology. Specifically, I will highlight my research's efforts in the...

Most optical components can be grouped under the umbrella of "bulk optics"; i.e. they generally have a non-negligible thickness compared to the wavelength of light. This is the case for prisms, lenses, etc., all of which must be of sufficient thickness such that light accumulates a...
